Abstract: A method of simultaneously determining a DC offset and a channel impulse response from a received signal in a mobile communication system. The received signal comprising a set of training sequence bits that have been modulated prior to transmission. The modulated signals experience a certain phase shift and are rotated by a certain angle. The received signal may also comprise a DC offset component that needs to be removed By manipulation of the received signal samples with the knowledge of the original training sequence and method of modulation used, it is possible to simultaneously estimate the communication channel's impulse response and the DC offset by finding the Least Squares solution to a linear equation, such that the energy of the noise term introduced into the communication channel may be kept to a minimum. An improved technique utilising a priori information is also described.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble circuit pourvu d'une connexion réseau (NA), d'un interrupteur de secteur (S1) et d'une alimentation à découpage comportant une bobine de facteur de puissance (NS) pour la correction du facteur de puissance. Selon l'invention, l'interrupteur de secteur (S1) a deux contacts de commutation (1, 2), dont l'un (1) est monté sur une ligne d'alimentation entre la connexion réseau (NA) et l'alimentation à découpage, mettant ainsi en et hors circuit le conducteur de phase ou le conducteur neutre du réseau de lignes de 50 Hz. Les connexions (c, d) du deuxième contact de commutation (2) se trouvent dans une alimentation en tension du circuit d'attaque (DC) de l'alimentation à découpage. Le deuxième contact de commutation (2) déconnecte le transistor de commutation dans l'alimentation à découpage lorsque l'ensemble circuit est déconnecté, la tension de commande (DS) étant mise hors circuit soit directement soit indirectement. Le contact de commutation (3) du relais (R1) est monté en parallèle au premier contact de commutation (1) de l'interrupteur de secteur (S1) et la bobine de commande (ST) de ce relais (R1) est connectée à une tension de sortie de l'alimentation à découpage. Les tensions de sortie de l'alimentation à découpage étant toutes pourvues d'un condensateur servant de tampon, le relais reste ouvert un certain temps après la déconnexion de l'ensemble. Ainsi, l'énergie stockée dans la bobine de facteur de puissance est dissipée par le relais, la bobine attirant le courant nécessaire pour dissiper cette énergie à partir du réseau via le relais.

Abstract: An end of life quenching device for a vapour lamp (10;110;210)
preventing damage to the lamp and socket
structure. Mica (34,36;134,136;236) is attached to a
lead wire (26,28;126A,128A;228A) of a filament (30,32;130,132;232).
As an emission material on the filament
(20,32;130,132;230,232) is consumed and the vapour lamp
(10;110;210) reaches the end of its life, the resulting
increase in voltage causes an arc. The arc may extend down
the lead wire (26,28;126A,128A;228A). The hydrated OH
group in the mica releases hydrogen, which extinguishes the
arc within the vapour lamp (10;110;210). Damage is thereby
prevented. The mica (34,36;134,136;236) withstands the
high pressing temperatures required in the manufacture of
vapour lamps with quartz envelopes and used to generate
ultraviolet radiation in germicidal applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mirror device motor
control circuit that can reliably stop a mirror at predetermined
positions with a simple configuration. In the control circuit
of the invention, part of a lock current flowing to the motor flows
to a base terminal of a transistor. Thus, as long as a voltage
corresponding to the lock current is equal to or greater than a
specific value, this voltage is applied to the base terminal of
the transistor, whereby between a collector terminal and an
emitter terminal becomes conductive, and the current flowing to
a gate of a MOSFET is grounded via the collector terminal and the
emitter terminal of the transistor. For this reason, when the
lock current flows, conduction between a drain terminal and a base
terminal of the MOSFET is released and a drive current of the motor
is cut off.

Abstract: A multi-issue processor comprises a plurality of issue slots (UC0, UC1, UC2 and UC3), each one of the plurality of issue slots having a plurality of functional units (FU0, FU1 and FU2) and a plurality of holdable registers (1 - 33 and 101 - 117). The plurality of issue slots comprises a first set of issue slots (UC1, UC2 and UC3) and a second set of issue slots (UC0), and the register file (RF0 and RF1) is accessible by the plurality of issue slots (UC0, UC1, UC2 and UC3). A location of at least a part of the plurality of holdable registers (1 - 33) in the first set of issue slots (UC1, UC2 and UC3) is different from a location of at least a corresponding part of the plurality of holdable registers (101 - 117) in the second set of issue slots (UC0). The holdable registers can prevent that the inputs of unused functional units change, which would result in unnecessary power dissipation. However, this increases the amount of state that has to be saved during interrupt handling. By varying the position of the holdable registers for different issue slots, less state saving may be required during interrupt handling, while maintaining a significant reduction in power consumption and improved performance.
